The LokPilot 5 Fx is a function decoder without motor output and thus perfectly suited for installation in control cars or function models. Because it speaks DCC with RailCom® as well as Motorola® and Selectrix, it can be used with all common digital command stations. Its flexible function key assignment and the manifold light effects it shares with the other LokPilot 5 decoders from ESU.
The LokPilot 5 Fx comes in three versions: Besides the "classic" version with 8-pole NEM 652 wiring harness, a variant for the 21MTC interface and with PluX22 interface is also available.
Operating modes
The LokPilot 5 Fx is a multi-protocol decoder. It masters the data format DCC as well as Motorola® and Selectrix®. In DCC format, 14-128 speed steps are as natural as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 28 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoder registers fully automatically with a suitable digital command station (e.g. ECoS).
It masters all DCC programming modes and can be operated and programmed with all DCC-compatible digital command stations: With RailCom®, it is also possible to read out the CV values on the main track with suitable command stations. For command stations that can only program the CVs from 1-255 (e.g. ROCO® Multimaus) there are auxiliary registers.
Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed steps with 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola® addresses allow the triggering of 16 functions. A built-in programming mode makes reprogramming possible even with the venerable Control Unit 6021.
The LokPilot 5 Fx decoder recognises Märklin® braking sections as well as ZIMO® HLU/ZACK braking commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake modules or with DC voltage is also possible. Furthermore, it also "stops" with a Selectrix® brake diode. An ABC shuttle train automatic allows automatic shuttling between two stations. Although this decoder of course has no motor output, this is also important with a function decoder to be able to synchronise control car and motor car.
The LokPilot 5 FX decoder can be used on analogue DC and AC railways. The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically "on-the-fly". Mostly nothing needs to be set.
Functions
The LokPilot 5 Fx has been equipped with an astonishing number of function outputs. Depending on the interface version, each LokPilot 5 Fx decoder offers at least 10 amplified function outputs with 250mA output current each. The versions with PluX22 or 21MTC interface add 4 outputs for controlling servos or logic level outputs. All important light functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately.
Interaction
The LokPilot 5 Fx is designed for interaction with the LokSound 5 and the LokPilot 5 decoders: For example, it is possible to equip the locomotive of a multiple unit with a LokSound 5 decoder and the driving trailer with a LokPilot 5 Fx. Assuming the same address, both behave absolutely identically. The identical arrangement of the CVs facilitates the tuning of the two decoders.
Operational safety
If desired, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 Fx for bridging dirty track sections.
Protection
Of course, the outputs are protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.
